Verizon didn’t promote the BlackBerry Storm2 like they did the Storm, but considering the various issues the Storm had this is understandable. The VerizonWireless YouTube account posted this rocking Storm2 commercial , very brief but straight to the point and it includes a video clip of the rock band Switchfoot. Good band .

In case you missed it, earlier this week Verizon and RIM announced the Storm2 9550 and it went live on the Verizon website this morning.

AT&T’s Facebook account posted some news about the BlackBerry Bold 9700 along with a link to a ShareATT YouTube video where Seth Bloom, an AT&T spokesman, does an unboxing and walkthrough of the Bold 9700.

A first look at the brand new Blackberry Bold 9700, which features a 624 MHz processor, 256 MB of Flash memory, a 3.2 megapixel camera and A-GPS to provide a faster location fix in support of AT&T Navigator with real-time traffic data. The new BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone also features an re-designed, innovative touch-sensitive trackpad, Wi-Fi, tethering capability, increased battery life, and BlackBerry OS v5.0, which supports BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0.

It’s very exciting to see an official video of the Bold 9700. Here’s a recap of AT&T’s pricing for this device from their press release:

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone will be available in the coming weeks for $199.99 (pay $299.99 and receive $100 mail-in-rebate.) AT&T smartphones require the purchase of a monthly data plan. Other monthly charges apply.

Salomondrin has done it again with another great overview video, this time goingt over the Verizon BlackBerry Storm 2 9550. The Storm 2 in this video is a newer release, which includes the hardware and the software (OS 5.0.0.287).

The Hardware: The phone is great to look at, and specially with RIM fixing the previous battery door problems that older revisions had, the phone is ready for every day use. The screen’s response is perfect at all times (Even though this is OS dependent), and there is no more light leaking around the screen

The Software: The latest update I did to the phone made the phone a solid device. This is exactly what RIM had in mind when they decided to put out the phone. We are back to the screen becoming solid when its off, but now the buttons on the bottom of the phone (send, end, app, return) are able to bring the screen back to live  as well. I don’t know how that is possible since those buttons are integrated on the screen, but I’m loving it. Random reboots are a thing of the past. In fact, they got rid of those with builds over .19X. There is no random freezing on the screen anymore either, and every single click works this time. The OS also makes the phone very snappy (responds really fast) whether you are going in or out of a menu, making a call, or even texting, the lag is completely gone here. With this bad boy you can text as fast as you want, and not as fast as the phone allows you to, like with the first version of the Storm.

I definitely agree with Sal, the Storm 2 looks and sounds ready for an official launch. As of right now we’re looking at a launch sometime between October 25th and November 27th if things work out internally and nothing gets pushed back. For more about this device check out the Storm 2 Archives.

As much as we all like hearing about how awesome an unreleased BlackBerry is, it’s good to have an objective point of view (or just different) also. In this video, Phone Arena gives the BlackBerry Storm 2 (9550) some praise but also points out some negative factors.

The technology is improving greatly but at the same time, we just don’t see us enjoying it even if it’s working perfectly. We’ll reserve our final judgement for when the production unit comes out. However, we’re not sure that the Storm 2 is going to be that much better; and again, we don’t know that we like that technology even if working perfectly…that it will be worth it.

Remember that this preview by Phone Arena is based on a pre-production unit, in which case they might have just gotten a bad apple. Check out the video for more details.

Keeping this preview in mind (and other Storm 2 info), what do you think the production unit will be like? Do you agree or disagree with Phone Arena when they say it might not be worth it?

Another of Salomondrin’s videos was uploaded to YouTube. In this video, Sal goes over how RIM is improving the BlackBerry Storm 2 (9520). He goes over two hardware improvements:

• The older Storm 2 had light leaking out under the screen, the newer Storm 2 doesn’t
• The screen’s “click” is improved (yes there is a big difference)

I”m sure many of you will be expecting the Storm 2 to be awesome compared to how the Storm 1 was when it launched. What do you think of these hardware improvements? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, especially if you’re a current Storm 1 owner.

Not even a few minutes after posting the BlackBerry Bold 9700 3G vs WiFi video, @salomondrin has created yet another video, this time a WiFi browsing speed test between the Bold 9700 (Onyx) and the Storm 2 (Odin).

Both are running WiFi and are connected to the same wireless internet source, but the Bold 9700 beats the Storm 2 when it comes to loading a browser page.

Just another reason why I can’t wait for the 9700 to get released, which should be between November and the end of this year!

@Salomondrin is on a roll with these videos!

In this video Sal does an internet browsing speed comparison between the BlackBerry Bold 9700’s WiFi and 3G capabilities.

The 9700 on the left is using AT&T 3G while the one on the right is using WiFi. At first it looked like WiFi was winning but 3G catches up and appears to have beaten it, but it was a really close race.

Watch the video and tell me which one you think won in the comments!

@Salomondrin put together part 2 of his Storm 2 (Odin) typing video. Sal says to keep the following in mind while watching the video:

“I’m not hitting the right keys, but the phone knows exactly what I’m trying to type, which makes typing on it a breeze”.

How many of you reacted with “NO WAY!”? Especially you Storm 1 owners .

Check out Sal’s 9700 video here (which he mentions at the end of this one). Keep ‘em coming Sal!

@Salomondrin has put together another video of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 (aka Onyx), this time going over a few different things about it. Here’s what Sal goes over:

• “Bold” branding across the back
• Exterior features and buttons
• Side-by-side comparison of the with the Bold 9000
• Media card location
• Trackpad is “heavenly” compared to Trackball
• It’s really fast, running on one of the latest versions of OS 5.0
• Browser is especially fast (video coming soon)
• BlackBerry Messenger is still version 4.7
• Media playback (audio and video)
• Ringtones (the usual)
• Pictures
• Applications
• Downloads comes pre-loaded with with apps and games like Tetris and PacMan
• Profiles (new layout)
• Make-UR-Tones (make your own ringtones?!)
• 130MB of free app memory

AWESOME. So it looks like the Onyx will definitely be launching soon, hopefully in November, but definitely before the end of the year.
